The Department of Defense's offering of its spectrum to wireless carriers has some applauding while others are scratching their heads, The Wall Street Journal reports.

After previous concerns that giving its spectrum up to wireless carriers would negatively affect military operations, it's now done an about face, and said it will be able to relocate most of its operations out of the spectrum for $3.5 billion.

There's no timeline for the move, which T-Mobile US Inc. called a "significant breakthrough," but the National Association of Broadcasters said that while it's open to the move, "DOD has done none of the legwork necessary to even begin the conversation."
